Specialties
As a member-owned, not-for-profit financial institution, Piedmont Advantage Credit Union places the financial well-being of our members first. It's how we think, what we do, and how we live. We offer the same services and solutions as commercial banks, but we focus on providing value to our members, not dividends to stockholders. In support of that mission, we engage and educate our members through free in-person educational seminars and webinars designed to clarify financial issues and promote sound decision-making. In every member interaction, Piedmont Advantage teammates take the time to understand the core financial need behind any request or inquiry. Our objective is to advise members - not sell them - on the products and services that will best support their financial goals. As members' needs evolve, we help them focus on the right solutions that will support changing financial situations. A member-centric culture has been our focus since our founding in 1949. We will continue this commitment over time, planning future growth in ways that align with our vision, mission and core value.
